Residential Services

Main House

Staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the Main House provides a safe place for women and children who are in a state of crisis as a result of physical, sexual, emotional or economic abuse. The Main House offers basic life needs (clothing, food, supplies and transportation); as well as individually tailored support services designed to  prepare clients to make the transition to independence and self-sufficiency. The services, referrals, information and shelter we provide are provided free to clients and are confidential.

The Main House provides a peaceful and respectful environment where the healing process can begin. The home-like setting can house up to 40 individuals (including single women and women with children). 

Wanaque & Berrie Houses

Recognizing the need for transitional housing, Strengthen Our Sisters designated two buildings to accommodate single women and women with children to provide safe housing and transitional services toward preparing clients for independence. These two buildings are conducive to more independent living. They are located directly
on a bus route so women finding employment can get to work. In the storefront of one of the buildings is our day care center providing quality child care so women can work and participate in important programs. Our main office is based in Wanaque as well as our housing advocacy program. All services provided to the other houses are available to the residents of the Wanaque and Berrie Houses.

Faye House

Faye House is a beautiful mansion, with gardens and grounds, for elder women living cooperatively.
